“We saw a lot of campers realize they are not alone. One child was uncomfortable taking medications at dinner and the next day, she realized that everyone was taking medications. And it opened conversations among the kids about having asthma, food intolerances, etc. They all realized they are not alone. It was incredible to see.” – 2022 Camp Session Volunteer
